Topic: Humanity
Source: in a speech at the luncheon of the Mayor of New York The line of red are lines of blood, nobly and unselfishly shed by men who loved the liberty of their fellowmen more than they loved their fellowmen more than they lover their own lives and fortunes. God forbid that we would have to use the blood of America to freshen the color of the flag. But if it should ever be necessary, that flag will be colored once more, and in being colored will be glorified and purified.

Thomas Woodrow Wilson
Born:
Birthplace:
Staunton, Va.
(Thomas) Woodrow Wilson was born in Staunton, Va., on Dec. 28, 1856. A Princeton graduate, he turned from law practice to post-graduate work in political science at Johns Hopkins University, receiving his Ph.D. in 1886. He taught at Bryn Mawr, Wesleyan, and Princeton, and in 1902 was made president of Princeton. After an unsuccessful attempt to democratize the social life of the university, he welcomed an invitation in 1910 to be the Democratic gubernatorial candidate in New Jersey, and was elected. His success in fighting the machine and putting through a reform program attracted national attention. In 1912, at the Democratic convention in Baltimore, Wilson won the nomination on the 46th ballot and went on to defeat Roosevelt and Taft in the election. Wilson proceeded under the standard of the New Freedom to enact a program of domestic reform, including the Federal Reserve Act, the Clayton Antitrust Act, the establishment of the Federal Trade Commission, and other measures designed to restore competition in the face of the great monopolies. In foreign affairs, while privately sympathetic with the Allies, he strove to maintain neutrality in the European war and warned both sides against encroachments on American interests. Re-elected in 1916 as a peace candidate, he tried to mediate between the warring nations; but when the Germans resumed unrestricted submarine warfare in 1917, Wilson brought the United States into what he now believed was a war to make the world safe for democracy. He supplied the classic formulations of Allied war aims and the armistice of Nov. 11, 1918 was negotiated on the basis of Wilson's Fourteen Points. In 1919 he strove at Versailles to lay the foundations for enduring peace. He accepted the imperfections of the Versailles Treaty in the expectation that they could be remedied by action within the League of Nations. He probably could have secured ratification of the treaty by the Senate if he had adopted a more conciliatory attitude toward the mild reservationists; but his insistence on all or nothing eventually caused the diehard isolationists and diehard Wilsonites to unite in rejecting a compromise.

Woodrow T. Wilson Quotes
Friendship is the only cement that will ever hold the world together. I use not only all the brains I have, but all I can borrow. Liberty has never come from government. Liberty has always come from the subjects of government. The history of liberty is the history of resistance. Provision for others is a fundamental responsibility of human life. One cool judgment is worth a thousand hasty councils. The thing to do is supply light and not heat. We grow great by dreams. All big men are dreamers. They see things in the soft haze of a spring day or in the red fire of a long winter's evening. Some of us let these great dreams die, but others nourish and protect them; nurse them through bad days till they bring them to the sunshine and light which comes always to those who sincerely hope that their dreams will come true. You are not here merely to make a living. You are here in order to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world, and you impoverish yourself if you forget the errand. The person who is swimming against the stream knows the strength of it.

Thomas Woodrow Wilson
De Amerikaanse staatsman en president Thomas Woodrow Wilson (1856-1924) werd geboren in Staunton, Virginia. Wilson studeerde rechten en staatsinrichting aan de Princeton universiteit en de John Hopkins universiteit.
Woodrow Wilson begon zijn loopbaan als leraar en werd in 1890 tot hoogleraar benoemd aan de Princeton universiteit. In 1902 werd hij president van deze universiteit.
In 1910 werd hij gouverneur van New Jersey. Twee jaar later stelde hij zich kandidaat voor de Democratische Partij.
Tijdens zijn eerste regeringsperiode vielen vooral zijn maatregelen op, die gericht waren op het herstellen van een vrije economie. Dankzij Woodrow Wilson kwam er controle op het bankwezen door de oprichting van de Federal Reserve Act. De tweede presidentsperiode van Woodrow Wilson stond in het teken van oorlog. Tijdens de Eerste Wereldoorlog trachtte Woodrow Wilson aanvankelijk de Verenigde Staten buiten de oorlog te houden.
Duitse torpedoaanvallen met duikboten op Amerikaanse schepen en een onderschept telexbericht, waarin aan Mexico de teruggave van de Amerikaanse staten Californië en Texas werd beloofd, veranderde de Amerikaanse opinie, waardoor Woodrow Wilson in de gelegenheid werd gesteld zich in het conflict te mengen.

Wilson did not learn to read until he was nine, but he went on to become a college professor, an author, president of Princeton University, and President of the United States. Wilson married Ellen Axzon June 24, 1885, and they had three children. Nominated by the Democrats in 1912, with Thomas Marshall as his running mate, Wilson was the first Democrat to win the White House is 20 years, and except for Cleveland's two terms, the first Democratic president since Reconstruction. Wilson served as President during the First World War (1914-1918). In his first term, he believed that the United States should not become involved in the European war. During his first term, his wife Ellen died August 6, 1914. Wilson married Edith Bolling Galt 16 months later, December 18, 1915. The Wilsons kept sheep at the White House to keep the grass neatly trimmed. Wilson ran for re-election in 1916 under the slogan "He kept us out of war."

Not many Americans outside the historical fraternity have heard of Philip Dru. Even among that well-informed group, not many are willing to admit the powerful role Philip Dru played in shaping the history of the twentieth century. You may be nonplused to discover that Philip Dru is a character in a novel, Philip Dru, Administrator . It is not a very good novel. But its main character and his message acquired enormous significance when the author, Colonel Edward Mandell House, became the intimate advisor to the president of the United States, Woodrow Wilson. Philip Dru tells the story of a military and political genius who took over a wealthy disordered quarrelsome nation and led it into an era of superhuman contentment by persuading the people to make him their supreme autocrat. This vision was not very different from Woodrow Wilson's view of how things worked best politically. In one of his books he wrote that the "graver questions" of politics, such as the choice between peace and war, could only be decided by "the selected leaders of public opinion and rulers of state policy."

Thomas Woodrow Wilson
Thomas Woodrow Wilson, twenty-eighth president of the United States, might
have suffered from dyslexia. He never could read easily, but developed a strong
power of concentration and a near-photographic memory. The outbreak of World
War I coincided with the death of Wilson's first wife Ellen Axson, who he was
passionately devoted to. Seven months after her death his friends introduced him to
Edith Bolling Galt, a descendant of the Indian princess Pocahontas, they were married
nine months later. By 1912 times were good for most Americans. Farmers were
enjoying their most prosperous period in living memory, the cost of living rose
slightly, unemployment was lower than it had been for several years, and working
conditions were improving. By 1913 when Wilson was inaugurated, American industries
were in a flood of consumer goods, including automobiles, telephones, and movies. However, Wilson almost did not appear on the presidential ballot, the leading
